July 30, 2010UPDATE: New video added. Part 3 of 3. Please scroll down. All videos are posted now

July 27, 2010. At the latest Community Board 1 meeting in Lower Manhattan, concerning the Ground Zero mosque site , Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer were among many members of the community who spoke to the committee; once again enumerating the many reasons the mega mosque at 45-47 Park Place should not be approved and why the building should be granted land mark status.

And don’t forget, to join SIOA and FDI in a solemn protest against the 911 mega mosque at Ground Zero on September the 11th in the afternoon, after the memorial services — exact time and date to be determined. World leaders, prominent politicians and 911 family members will be speaking.

The single largest funder of the IHH jihad warship convoy (aka flotilla) and Imam Rauf is a prominent figure in this hate group and terror sponsor. He is ranked second right behind Mahathir Mohammed the notorious Jew hater from Malaysia, “Jews control the world by proxy” .

This video reveals The Truth About the Flotillathat was ignored by the international community and buried by the mainstream media.

Senior Israeli Defense Forces officials have provided the following video about the “Flotilla Incident” that took place on May 31, 2010. It reveals the truth behind the event.

At 3:02 in the video you will hear the Turkish crew on the Mavi Marmara responding to the Israeli Navy: “Shut the Fuck Up. Go Back to Auschwitz. We’re helping the Arabs go against the US and Don’t Forget 9-11 “

Follow-up investigations revealedthat “the rioters were found with large sums of money in their pockets and without identifying information” .

At 0:34 one of potential martyrs says :I wanted to be a shahid, I wasn’t that lucky. Third time lucky, with the help of god, I will be a shahid”

Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is a prominent figure in a hate group that was the single largest funder of the flotilla. This is an outrage.

We do not need any hand-holding, Imam Rauf.You must build your bridges elsewhere. Ground Zero is sacred ground, a memorial to those murdered by the Shahids of Islam.

And we ask you, Mayor Bloomberg, Community Board #1 and the Landmark Commission to do the right thing.

Grant Landmark Status to 45-47 Park Place.

Do NOT tear down these walls!

Also, if you are in Manhattan tomorrow evening, please come to the next Community Board 1 meeting concerning the Ground Zero mosque site at 6:00 PM at Dance New Amsterdam, 280 Broadway, 2nd Floor (entrance on Chambers and Elk Streets). We need to be there.”

UPDATE: 7-23-10:Our legal team is working furiously to slow down mad rush to build the 911 mega mosque in time to open on September 11, 2011. Here’s the latest from the lawyerJay Sekulow of the ACLJ . And you can read the ACLJ letterhere.

FROM Pamela Geller on Landmark Status (7-22-10): We have filed our written submission with the Landmarks Protection Commission. The record is closed. At least according to the LPC, the record is closed.

WE CAN STILL PROTEST THE GROUND ZERO MOSQUE AT COMMUNITY BOARD#1

Community Board 1 meets on Tuesday at 6:00 PM at Dance New Amsterdam, 280 Broadway, 2nd Floor (entrance on Chambers and Elk Streets). Despite reports that the vote was unanimous, it was not. 29 voted for the Islamic supremacist mosque, 4 against, and 9 abstentions.

We need to be there! ALL OF US. It is critical that the world sees we will not go away and that we won’t back down. We need to be orderly and civil,but we need to let these people know we will not back down. The LPC is expected to vote at one of its upcoming meetings, probably in August.

In Staten Island, an average of 150 members of the community have protested every Sunday for six weeks against the planned sale of the convent building to the Muslim American Society (MAS), the public face of the Muslim Brotherhood. There is are reams of documentation tying the leaders of the MAS with Hamas and other terrorist organizations.

“America is experiencing an Islamist cultural-political offensive designed to undermine and destroy our civilization. Sadly, too many of our elites are the willing apologists for those who would destroy them if they could. No mosque. No self deception. No surrender. The time to take a stand is now – at this site… on this issue.”

STATEMENT ON SAINT MARGARET MARY PARISH
Father Keith Fennessy, pastor of Saint Margaret Mary parish on Staten Island, announced in June that after careful consideration he was withdrawing his support for the planned sale of the parish convent to the Muslim American Society.

The trustees of the parish have met, as legally required under New York State law, and voted to ratify the pastor’s decision.

The Muslim American Society has been informed that the sale of the convent will not take place.

The Archdiocese of New York has enjoyed a good relationship with the Islamic community in the past, and looks forward to continued dialogue, friendship, and understanding in the future.

It is also our prayer that unity will now return to the parish and to the Midland Beach community.

Like this:

Cries of Islamophobia from Arab Detroit News and the usual characters posing as ‘moderates”. And we all know how well the Muslims in Dearborn (Michigan!) are getting along with their local Christian Community.

What follows is their article with our NMAGZ reactions in RED.

A highly contentious plan to build a 13-story mosque in New York City has garnered its fare share of attention in recent days. Politicians, political pundits, and community members are ardently vocalizing their opinion about whether the mosque should be allowed to exist just a few blocks away from ground zero.

Organizers and supporting local Islamic institutions say the mosque, coined the Cordoba House, would aim to achieve a tipping point between Muslim-West relations and would work to promote a peaceful image of Muslim Americans around the county who stand in solidarity against the attacks of 9-11.

However,those opposing the mosque claim that granting its construction so close to the World Trade Center site would be insensitive to 9-11 families who may still have open wounds in the aftermath of the day’s tragedies. (who MAY still have open-wounds??)

(SNIP) in the last week,… anti-mosque rhetoric took a turn for the worst. In a provocative ad … the narrator calls upon viewers to “join the fight to kill the Ground Zero Mosque.” While both NBC and CBS have refused to run the ad, the clip has been well circulated online, (those) who support the video, simply say they represent the voice of people who refuse to cater to the politically correct. (SNIP)

.

Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) spokesman, Ibrahim Hooper, … worries about a resurgence of underlying racism and anti-Muslim backlash taking root not only in New York but nationwide. (CAIR worries about racism? (SNIP)) “What we’re seeing is that some people are trying to exploit and promote Islamophobia in our country by opposing these ordinary expansions of mosques…And they’ve actually put out step by step guides on how to oppose a mosque when it comes to your area, so it’s very disturbing,” Hooper told CNN last week.

NMAGZ: From Ibrahim Hooper, in an interview with the Minneapolis Star-Tribune in 1993: “I wouldn’t want to create the impression that I wouldn’t like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future … But I’m not going to do anything violent to promote that. I’m going to do it through education.”

John Esposito, professor of Religion and International Affairs and director of the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding at Georgetown University, calls such anti-Muslim speech intolerable. (interesting cast-of characters) In his CNN editorial, he denounces all “islam bashing charges,” in particular the accusation that the mosque— a 100 million dollar project— is being funded exclusively by foreign terrorist interests. “The call by some New York politicians for a delay in the construction of the Cordoba Center to examine its funding is simply grandstanding that reinforces the notion that somehow all Muslims, mosques and Islamic centers are guilty until proved innocent,” said Esposito.

NMAGZ: From John Esposito (when discussing his bridge-building Center of tolerance) “The Center, since its creation in 1993, has built bridges of understanding between the Muslim world and the West, addressing stereotypes of Islam and Muslims and issues and questions such as the clash of civilizations, and the compatibility of Islam and modern life – from democratization and pluralism to the status of women, minorities and human rights – and American foreign policy in the Muslim world.”

Imad Hamad,Michigan Regional Director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), says it is this extreme, odious discourse that reminds him of how deep seated islamophobia really is. “This kind of misinformed discussion attests to the fact that despite the long years of pain and suffering that we endured post 9-11, (now that statement is offensive, self-serving and insensitive) (SNIP)

President of the Michigan Palestine Office, Hasan Newash, is also frustrated that such anti-Muslim sentiments exist today, almost ten years after 9-11.( bet he has no problem with relentless anti-Semitism or the murderous cries of “From The River To the Sea) He questions why Muslims must fight to build a mosque near ground zero when Christians who sought to build a church near the Oklahoma city bombing site never met resistance. (CHRISTIANS did not blow up that building in the name of Jesus Christ) “The fact that this question is even raised–whether building the mosque is offensive or insensitive–is completely disturbing,” said Newash. (If anyone believes what these people have written here…now THAT is disturbing)

NMAGZ: And the organization of which Hassan Newash is President, is even MORE disturbing. Check it out .

(In conclusion) Hasan says, “Muslims are not evil by definition. (but…Hasan, what about Islam? huh?)

Asked by CNN’s Deborah Feyerick why there is no provision for a Buddhist, Jewish, or Christian prayer space within the planned structure, El-Gamal says “this [Islamic cultural center] is a need that exists,” then insists “there is a need – it’s supply and demand – the community wants this.”

But El-Gamal is clearly wrong. Manhattan Island has eight functioning mosques affiliated with Sunni and Shia Islam. Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and New Jersey have dozens more. Many are also called “Islamic Centers” or “Islamic Cultural Centers.” ”

Another excerpt: ” Imam Rauf himself told60 Minutes soon after 9/11, “I wouldn’t say that the United States deserved what happened, but the United States policies were an accessory to the crime that happened.”

If Sharif El-Gamal truly wants to establish a place for moderate Islam, it would be more appropriate for him to use his assets and influence to change the leadership of some of the region’s Wahhabi-controlled “Islamic Centers,” like the notorious Westbury Mosque on Long Island, a hotbed of radical Islam with which Imam Rauf is linked.”
